Vila Lanna in Prague hosts conferences, seminars, training days, workshops and weddings in historic salons, with a terrace for 100 and a garden for 300 standing guests. The villa stands at V Sadech 1 in Bubeneč, Prague 6, and is a representative facility of the Czech Academy of Sciences that also runs as a hotel.
Seminars and company events
The site states that it organizes conferences, training, seminars, team building, workshops, corporate events and working meetings. Rooms are adapted to the format, from a small meeting to an international conference or a cultural event. Apollo Hall (Apollonův sál) and the Konírna are the two main rooms. Each takes 80 guests standing and 50 for a banquet. Apollo Hall seats 80 theatre style, and the Konírna seats 70.
Two smaller salons complete the offer. The Travenský salon fits 25 around tables or 15 in a U-shape. The Adalbert salon takes 30 theatre style, 20 standing or at a banquet, and 18 around tables. Capacities quoted are maximums, and the site warns that the figure for a room with projection can be lower.
Conference equipment is part of the service: projection screen, data projector, wireless microphone, notebook, LCD monitor, laser pointer with slide changer, flipchart with markers, whiteboard and an August Förster piano. A supporting program of activities can be added, and organizers send a non-binding inquiry to receive an offer.
Weddings and receptions
Vila Lanna holds civil ceremonies and symbolic ceremonies, and it also hosts a wedding feast alone, without a ceremony. Couples can renew their vows here for an anniversary. The setting combines richly decorated salons, adjoining terraces and a quiet garden. The terrace takes 80 at a banquet and 60 around tables, and the garden takes 300 for a standing reception. The villa lists its own kitchen and wedding experience.

Accommodation
The villa operates as a hotel in historic interiors, with stay packages built around art, history and relaxation. The number of bedrooms is not given on the pages we read, so ask when planning an overnight stay for a group.
Catering
The café serves daily and seasonal menus prepared by the chef, with a wide wine list, every day from 11:00 to 20:00. In colder months it sits in the Travenský salon, and in summer on the terrace facing the garden. The café also hosts tastings, gastronomic evenings, themed talks and concerts. A reception or banquet can be arranged with the sales team.
History and setting
The villa was built by Vojtěch (Adalbert) Lanna Jr., from a Czech-Austrian family of entrepreneurs and art collectors. It was the first suburban villa in Prague and a showcase of the neo-Renaissance style. The salons carry decoration inspired by Roman villas and mythological themes tied to the family's story.
